Chapter 417 (The Wine & the Madness)
Some things that happen here on the north coast you simply cannot make up. So many things in life happen without any planning whatsoever. Let?s call that Serendipity.
On the North Coast, you can meet so many interesting and fascinating people that its nothing short of a ****ing revelation when you meet someone who is both intelligent and beautiful.
I heard about this new Wine store/caf? in Ocean Dream plaza and vaguely remember telling the owner before I left Norway that as soon as I got back into town that I was going to grab my sleeping bag and come down to his wine store and camp out for two days and do nothing but drink good wine and eat imported cheese until I passed out.
Being a man of my word, I kept to that promise and showed up yesterday when the wine store opened. I was standing outside with my sleeping bag, waiting for it to open. I slept on their door mat.
When they opened, I had made my mind up that i was going to stay the entire afternoon drinking great wine until either passed out, or i took off and started flying like an eagle (Steve Miller Band). If you haven?t been to this wine store in Cabarete yet, run, don?t walk there. It?s beautiful. No, it?s stunning. And it?s air-conditioned. You?ll want to lay down on the sofas (yes, sofas!) and take a nap. You?ll want to move into the place. If you like wine--and really, who in their right mind doesn't--you?ll never want to leave the store. Bring a sleeping bag. Bring a friend. Bring two friends. And oh yeah, bring a thirsty appetite for good wine.
The plan was simple. Wake up, drink coffee, drink more coffee, then go find Sveta and Paul, and then go find this wine store I heard so much about. Plan A was executed with efficiency and authority. Paul, Sveta and I camped out at the wine bar and ate imported cheeses, hams, and olives. So far so good. We had samples of different varieties of wine and cheese. Delicious! We got a nice little wine buzz going, after we were cruising at about 30,000 feet we took off and started cruising around town.
I flew into town and found Big Frank. He and I came back to the wine store and did some more wine sampling. Big Frank is the perfect drinking buddy. He can tell story after story after story until you either pass out or go unconscious. Together, we have enough absurd and crazy stories to wake the dead and make zombies run for cover.
We started drinking wine and telling stories of sexual debauchery and sexual misfits?mostly about ourselves?until two of the most beautiful Estonian girls (Helena & Hannah) showed up. Helena is working on her PHD in Micro Biology, and Hannah is interning at one of the big law firms in London, England. Needless to say, both girls were extremely intelligent?and beautiful?and funny?and oh yeah?possessed nice legs and were really fun to be around. There is nothing I cherish more in this world then when beauty is fused together with intelligence in a nice tight package that sparkles and shines. And these girls were sparkling!
It turns out that Hannh and Helena are from the same small town in Estonian as the three Estonian Triplet Marathon runners competing in the Olympics right now. They went to school together with them. Can you imagine sleeping with Triplets?
Big Frank and I kept drinking wine until we started cruising at the altitude where the Space Shuttle likes to cruise around the sun like Pegasus (a little Greek Mythology).
